[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8908401, member: 57383"] I like [I][B]Foes of Humankind[/B][/I] as a subtitle heading, as the original text used that phrase. Oh, I'm undecided on whether to capitalize the Amiraspian in their name or not. If it's just a descriptive part of their name, the 5E style appears to be to not capitalize (the [I]Monster Manual[/I] has "abominable yeti" for example). It doesn't look right to me though, since "Amiraspian" is treated as a proper noun for the Griffon-riders. Hmm… there are 5E monster writeups that mainly use only part of their names in their writeups. A [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/devil-horned']Horned Devil (Malebranche)[/URL][/B], for example, just uses "devil" in its statblock. We could do that, and just use "cyclops" in the statblock and most of the Description, and only have a few uses of "Amiraspian" which we can strategically arrange to the start a sentence so they'd be capitalized either way. So, instead of: [INDENT][I][B]Hypnotic Stare.[/B][/I] As a bonus action, the [COLOR=red]Amiraspian/amiraspian[B]?[/B][/COLOR] cyclops's eye becomes a twisting vortex of colors and it stares at a creature within 60 feet. If the target can see the cyclops it must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes charmed for 1 minute. While charmed by the stare, the creature is incapacitated and has a speed of 0. The effect ends if an affected creature takes any damage, or if someone else uses an action to shake the creature out of its stupor.[/INDENT] [INDENT] A target that successfully saves is immune to this cyclops's stare for the next 24 hours.[/INDENT] It'd be [INDENT][I][B]Hypnotic Stare.[/B][/I] As a bonus action, the cyclops's eye becomes a twisting vortex of colors and it stares at a creature within 60 feet. If the target can see the cyclops it must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes charmed for 1 minute. While charmed by the stare, the creature is incapacitated and has a speed of 0.
